How we handle shower tray repair in Childrey
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scratches in the surface.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Childrey as everywhere else we work.

Do you need shower tray repair in Childrey?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Childrey, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Childrey
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you work in Childrey?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Childrey and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
